808: VORs are now RNAV Compatible

Thanks to Bryan in the US, the long-missed vertical guidance on my Multi-Shared VOR1 and VOR2 FIP Gauges under RNAV approach has been implemented finally.


The codes of the two FIP gauges were nearly rewritten. In addition, layouts and appearances of the gauges were revised accordingly to the recent MSFS sim update.

Furthermore, as the NAV/GPS toggling of the VOR2 on the C172 Classic is now independent from the VOR1, an extra NAV-only VOR2 is therefore included.

This is done so because Continue reading

807: Compass+Annunciator in Sleekier Design

The C172 Wet Compass+Annunciator (CMP+ANPL) FIP Gauge for MSFS has just been updated.

Function-wise, the update is of no difference to its earlier brothers.

806: Stream Deck Non-Responding Fix

Like many friends, my system has an Elgato Stream Deck so that I can minimize the needs of using keyboard and memorizing hotkeys.  The device had been working pretty well until recently I found it behaving erratic with intermittent non-responding StreamDeckXLerrors when switching profiles.

I tried reinstalling the app and restoring from previous profile backups.  I took various ideas and suggestions from the Internet, too.  All attempts were futile.

After many weeks of trying, I decided to reinstall everything and create all profiles from scratch again, hoping that would solve the issue.

During re-creating the first few profiles, I eventually found out the real cause behind the non-responding errors that was troubling me. Continue reading

805: “set-and-Forget” weather Preset

I always start my flight with a fixed weather preset, and then change it to Live Weather or another weather preset when I want to.

However, I keep forgeting how to configure this very first “set-and-forget” preset.  So here’s an image to remind myself just in case.  You probably don’t need it.
